what is your budget?
I suppose you want to do visual
usually it's recommended to buy the biggest dobsonian telescope you can afford
where are you located, because the country is also important
it is usually cheaper to buy second hand

i would try and find something second hand maybe try and find a dobsonian if you only want to do planetary apature is your friend 🙂
not much need for an eq mount for planetary

Maybe a used dobsonian if you can find one
I'm not to experienced in telescope buying. Shoot I bought a ~$400 newt on an eq mount and haven't been too impressed

I'd recommend a Barlow lens and probably a 6mm or 4mm lens too. Otherwise the planets will be very zoomed out
